<p>Hi, I have been contributing to rust for a bit lately in terms of reviewing doc or libs related pull requests and also some minor updates on doc text. I was asked to ping <code>@rust-lang/rustdoc</code> by <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="232545">@Joshua Nelson</span> but I stopped doing that because I thought the ping is useless, I don't know who are the members on the team, <a href="https://github.com/orgs/rust-lang/teams/rustdoc">https://github.com/orgs/rust-lang/teams/rustdoc</a> is 404 for me. I wonder if I need to join a team to see this?</p>
<p>Also, is there a team for random stuff where we could just work on random stuff but I think contributor can do this already without joining a team? I believe people like <code>Lonami</code>, <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="209117">@lzutao</span> (maybe not since he mainly do performance related stuff) and me could be categorized here. I personally would like to help out more on reviewing pull requests but I want to contribute to libs and some compiler suggestion stuff. Should we just stay as normal contributors?</p>

</blockquote>
<p>Absolutely.  You can change the compiler without being on compiler; you can change the library without being on libs or libs-impl; you can put review comments on PRs without having sign-off permissions; you can attend the language design meetings without being on lang; etc.</p>

<p>If you look at the "Welcome to the team" posts (such as <a href="https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/welcome-pauan-to-the-rust-and-webassembly-domain-working-group-core-team/9707?u=scottmcm">https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/welcome-pauan-to-the-rust-and-webassembly-domain-working-group-core-team/9707?u=scottmcm</a> <a href="https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/welcome-amanieu-to-the-libs-team/9269?u=scottmcm">https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/welcome-amanieu-to-the-libs-team/9269?u=scottmcm</a> <a href="https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/please-welcome-nagisa-and-oli-obk-to-the-compiler-team/6712?u=scottmcm">https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/please-welcome-nagisa-and-oli-obk-to-the-compiler-team/6712?u=scottmcm</a>) you'll see that membership is generally extended in recognition of work that they've already been doing, not as as a prerequisite to doing that work in the first place.</p>

<p>It is unfortunate that GitHub hides team membership if you are not an org member. Just to answer your question about determining who is on a team: GitHub teams are <em>usually</em> synced with the rust-lang team database.  You can view it here: <a href="https://www.rust-lang.org/governance">https://www.rust-lang.org/governance</a>.  Rustdoc is part of the dev-tools team (<a href="https://www.rust-lang.org/governance/teams/dev-tools">https://www.rust-lang.org/governance/teams/dev-tools</a>).</p>

<p>Ah, I did saw that but I didn't know that reflects the current state of governance.</p>
